A Thousand Times
Lately I've been posting movie related stuff to my myspace blog -- mostly just the reviews I write for the Georgetown newspaper -- but I thought this was interesting enough to cross-post. Oh, and if you haven't already, subscribe to my myspace blog so you can tell me how much my taste in movies sucks:
I've been saving my movie ticket stubs for about 15 years now, and some years after that, I started coounting them. After a recent count, I noticed that I was nearing my 1000th stub, so I thought I'd share some statistics with everyone (Note: some of the early stubs were missing and thus not counted, but my records for the later years are pretty much dead on):
Total movies recorded: 1000
Movie #1: The Rocketeer, 6/22/91 (of course not the first I ever saw, but they first one I have record of)
100: The Cable Guy, 6/14/96
500: American Psycho, 4/18/00
750: American Splendor, 9/14/03
